I wrote to you yesterday about a plan to get dispersants off EPA's
approved list of means of dealing with an oil spill. Write your letters TODAY! A postcard will do, best is hand written, or at least
sent by snail-mail. Pass this email to everyone you know. Help us get 1 million letters to EPA by August 1st! Below is a sample letter.
Feel free to modify it in any way you see fit. Definitely mail it to Lisa Jackson (address below). If you want to make more of a difference
mail her the letter once per week. If you want an even greater impact, mail the letter to all you senators and representatives (don't
know who yours are? Need an address? Go here: https://writerep.house.gov/writerep/welcome.shtml and here: http://www.contactingthecongress.org/ (click
on your state and then the name to get mailing address)
Lisa Jackson
USEPA Headquarters
Ariel Rios Building 1200Pennsylvania Avenue, N. W. Mail Code: 1101A Washington, DC 20460 Dear Lisa Jackson (or the name of your legislator):
I
am gravely concerned about the use of dispersants and EPA's inability to stop BP from using them in the Gulf of Mexico. I implore
you to amend the National Contingency Plan Product Schedule to include a process to delist products. Further, you must use this new
process to delist, effective immediately, products that contain human health hazards and proprietary compounds, first and foremost
dispersants. Fast-tracking this process is essential to the health of our Gulf, the workers on the Deepwater Horizon scene and all
of the Gulf Coast residents and their visitors.
Your name
Your address
